MSc in Astrophysics @ UAM

UAM teachers:

All professors of the astrophysics group are internationally recognized experts in the subjects taught within the Master. They further form part of national and international projects and have a long standing history of teaching competence. They have not only trained numerous MSc (and PhD) students, but also actively engage in undergraduate teaching and public outreach. Here we list their main research interests.
